100% of Setup Fees to be Donated to American Red Cross for Disaster Relief
RELEASE DATE: 9.6.2005
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – YourMembership.com Inc., a St. Petersburg-based online community developer, today announced it will donate 100% of each new client setup fee to help benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
"The campaign will begin today and continue through October 15th of this year," said Bill Stover, President of YourMembership.com, Inc. "We must do our part, both in business and our community to help those that have suffered and will continue to struggle due to this disaster."
The contribution will be given to the American Red Cross, www.redcross.org. In times of disaster, the American Red Cross immediately mobilizes workers and supplies to address the urgent, critical needs of disaster victims, which include providing emergency shelter, food, water, counseling and other assistance. The Red Cross response to Hurricane Katrina is the largest response to a single, natural disaster in the 125-year history of the organization.
About the American Red Cross:
The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors—across the street, across the country, and across the world—in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new--the nearly one million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. Through almost 900 locally supported chapters, more than 15 million people gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world. Some four million people give blood—the gift of life—through the Red Cross, making it the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States. And the Red Cross helps thousands of U.S. service members separated from their families by military duty stay connected. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a global network of 181 national societies, the Red Cross helps restore hope and dignity to the world's most vulnerable people. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money, and blood to do its work. Marsha J. Evans is the President and CEO of the American Red Cross.
